” However, they did not falter and carried on with the chase until the cops pulled the suspect out of the car. Aaron and Jamal couldn’t contain their happiness when the cops pulled the driver out of the car. “Oh my god, I’m hoping the car behind me is a police officer, nope it’s not, oh my god.” Then as they chase to catch and restrain the suspect, he says, “You guys are awesome, oh my god, oh my god.” The chase was 40 miles long but it ended with everyone being safe. The man that was caught is called Charles Atkins Lewis Jr. He was charged with aggravated kidnapping.
When he was arrested, the police found a knife and a handgun in the car. The young woman was struck over the head and forced to get into her car in the back seat while Atkins kept her at gunpoint. He did not know the woman before the incident. But how did it all start? Here is some information on the victim’s unfortunate experience. It was 11 p.m. when the victim was leaving a young professionals networking party from downtown when a man approached her from behind and hit her three times in the head. She believes he used the handgun for that. Then he forced her into her own car and threw her cell phone out the window. In the affidavit, a police officer wrote that the woman thought Lewis was planning to rape her and possibly kill her. What did she do after she was freed that night? After the rescue mission, the teens were hailed as heroes.
The woman got out of the car she was being held trapped in and ran to the boys to hug and thank them for saving her life. “I can honestly say those were the best hugs I’ve ever gotten,” said Aaron happy to see she was fine. “Oh my god, I just want to hug you, that was literally payment for everything we did.” Aaron said in an interview that he would like to stay in contact with the woman but would do that after the investigation in the court case ends so that he won’t interfere with them. When journalists asked Aaron if they consider themselves heroes, this is what he said. “She says we saved her life, I guess you could say we did, but I don’t want to be that person who says they’re a hero,” added Aaron.
Then Jamal explains how they actually felt in that moment and what urged them to act so fast. “You don’t need a cape to be a hero,” Harris added, explaining that you just have to be yourself and just respond. Aaron said that the victim was crying and hugging them because she was beyond grateful and who wouldn’t be? But what happened to the kidnapper? Atkins has been charged with aggravated kidnapping and will remain in jail on a $50,000 bond. The man’s lawyer stated that his client was innocent until proven guilty. What did people say about Aaron and Jamal’s deeds? People that read the news of this rescue mission congratulated the boys for acting fast and calling 9-1-1. Brave teenagers, they didn’t ignore a situation but acted in the proper way by calling the authorities. Even if it hadn’t been a kidnapping, better safe than sorry, good job kids.
